How to fix Picasa Sync issue on Android Phones

Today i bought Samsung Galaxy S3, which comes with Android 4.1version.. 

First problem i faces today was when i setup an google account, it automatically downloaded picasa albums and photos.. which sometimes rather say most of the times we don't want. So here is a 2 step solution to fix this..

1. Firstly go to Settings option and scroll down to Accounts group and click on google there select an account for which you want to disable syncing picasa and click on that.. and un-check picasa or some other google service which you don't want to automatically being downloaded to your mobile.
For pervious versions it may be Accounts and sync tab.

2. If you go to gallery now, you can see that all those picasa albums are still there.. and you can't even delete/remove it.. for this again go to Settings and scroll down to Applications manager and swap to go to all tab and there scroll down till you find gallery and click on clear data.. it will delete all those picasa albums.


This is it.. Now only gmail account will be synced not other unnecessary things. Hope it will help you.
